The YJ directions on repairing tubulars
Tubular Tire Repair at Yellow Jersey
are also wonderfully straightforward. Had I read them first, I might not have gone straight to sealant after my first flat. Which, I should add, arrived once I had a whacking 15 miles or so on my first set of new tubulars. Maybe that's better than average performance on Vermont roads--I guess I'll find out.
to be precise i glued both rim and tire and let them sit a couple of hours and then another coat on the rim and mount the tires
